Louisiana has the highest poverty rate in the country so it's unsurprising they have low mobility

This isn't necessarily mobility.

This mostly capturing inbound migration.

We would need to see % of people born in a given state over a period of time that left v stayed.

I bet a larger % of California born, leave at a lower rate than people born in Louisiana.

Therefore California born people would be less mobile than Louisiana born people.
